I have the same desire. Unfortunately, it does not work. I believe the mini-display port to DVI for the newest macbooks no longer connect the analog signals to the DVI connector. The display is recognized but the video is not output. Looks like a separate mini-display port to VGA is required unless I am missing something. Note the previous mini DVI to DVI on macbooks did output the analog.

I have DVI monitor but for presentation via projector, needed VGA. So tried this by using my old DVI - VGA connector from my previous macbook pro and it didn't work. There are two small metal prongs that do not let you connect.
